Me and my husband got into a BAD habit of not writing anything down in our check book. We literally would just look on line and however much money it said we had, that is how much we thought we had!!! Well, it got us into some big trouble. We had never went "in the hole" before, but when we wired some money to someone, they charged us an unknown fee of $50, which ended up costing us almost $300 in fees. Something about they let the "big bills" go through first, so we "bounced" 2 and 3 dollar trips to the gas station. It was ridiculous. I now write everything down and even round up to the nearest dollar.

Track Changes?
I use Word's Track Changes for when I am editing writing. What happens is you can take out the incorrectly-spelled word and replace it with the correct version. In red, it will come up as "deleted: and then the word that was mispelled" so the MT can see both the right and wrong way when you send her back the file. Hope that might help!
track changes?
There is a feature that is called "track changes" and it changes the color of any word that you added or puts a line through a word that you want to remove.
In my Word it is under "Tools" then "track changes" then click on highlight changes.
Good luck.
yes, this thread has gotten way off track

Can the ISP track to an address?
I didn't think it could. That would be great though. I feel bad for this person.
I lost track of how many
hospitals (30+), in how many states (12?), and how many doctors (1000s), but depending on the length of dictation I do anywhere from 15 to 40 reports a day. I seldom ever have the same doc the same day, sometimes don't have the same one more than once in a week, month, or even year.
Sounds like your on the right track...
along with internal medicine, family practice, pediatrics, and dermatology comes to mind. There may be piddly little office procedures with those (am I the only one who finds abscesses being lanced TOTALLY COOL?!), but they are usually way easy.
Good luck in your goal! 
keeping track
Maybe that is a personal thing if you keep track of who the doc dictates and who he doesn't dictate for. All I know is that they can take it for granted and you can spend lots of time if you're not careful. Could it be a doc in Ravenna?
How convenient for them.....you keep track of

Way to keep track of what you do, without writing
If you go to cnet.com downloads and go to Rayflectar Project Timers. Hard to explain (for me anyway :), but you can program it to keep track of the things you do on your computer, time spent on each document, even time spent surfing the web, checking email etc. Just thought it might come in handy for some.
Keep track of your own lines.
Fast Track
I wanted to thank all of you for your responses. I don't want to make less than I do now, which is 4 edit/8 typing. It's just that it seems like what we are doing is "softening up" the accounts so they can be transferred overseas. That is very discouraging, especially when you have been on an account for over a year
HELP-ASAP Tract or track (sm)
 Haven't been doing surgery for a while and cannot remember the rule for tract/track. Couldn't find it in the AAMT BOS either. Thanks!!
EX: I probed this area with a Q-tip and found that she, indeed, has a sinus tract/track leading to a cavity below the healed skin.
put on your track shoes, baby! :)
I'll be officially divorced on September 10, 2006, and I can't wait! I was only married for a year and a half. I was absolutely at the end of my rope. I tried everything. Counselors, psychiatrists (for me), drugs, books, websites, EVERYTHING! I hated Fridays b/c it meant spending another two days with my husband. In my opinion, counseling is great, but it ONLY WORKS when the other party is ready to accept responsibility. And usually, sadly, they're just not.
As someone once said, "You don't need a reason to leave someone you can't stand!" I also really like this quote, "My worst day single is better than my best day married!"
Good luck, and remember, you DO deserve someone who treats you well.
PERIOD. ;)
Suggestions for getting back on track?
I have been doing transcription for quite a while now, 14+ years. I am finding that my count is dwindling and it's not due to lack of work. I think I'm just burned out. I love my job, but just can't seem to get it going again. What do you all do to increase your production and get yourself out of a slump other than the obvious word expanders, etc. Any advice you can give me would be really appreciated. My husband is about to kill me because my check is not where it should be.
Sorry, didn't track hours.
Not an employee - just got on the computer and did a few offers whenever I felt like it.
Have you ever thought about keeping track... SM
of the reports you send to QA and then going back later and looking them over? I'm sorry, but when there are 300 jobs in the QA queue, we cannot possibly send feedback on each and every report. Most of us are on production just like you or have production quotas we have to meet just like you. At some point the MT must take responsibility for her work and do her own research. It isn't enough that we get sent reports with 20 or more blanks because a lazy MT didn't feel like do the research, but now we have to make sure we email that same lazy MT and give her the answers that she should have been able to find in the first place?
In my opinion, once an MT leaves 20 blanks or more in report, the QA person is basically transcribing that report. The MT should get docked those lines. I have seen reports with 80 blanks in them --- 80 BLANKS! Tell me that MT isn't just being lazy!
QA is abused by a lot of MTs. They use us to finish their work and give them free lines. They use us to do their research. They are used to be handed free answers on these online word boards -- word boards, I might add, that are usually manned by QA people lending a helping hand. I used to frequent the word boards and offer answers, not anymore. Just try to explain to someone how to find the answer to the question instead of just handing it to them on the word board and you are met with hostility.
I've given up. This us versus them mentality is perpetuated by the MTs not by QA and I'm so tired of hearing it. If you want a better relationship with QA, get better at your job.
keep track of emails; keep producing; it's all you can do.

You want us to have "O" work? They would track that complaint in a heartbeat.
communication and reality.
Talk about your drugs or your dinners. Pass over MQ. We won't mind a bit. Our lives are rough enough already without biting comments.
We are trying to dig out of the quagmire MQ/Philips has put us into. Like I've said, MTing is no longer a profession or can be considered a "real job". At best it is pickup work or sideline extra non-necessary money because one certainly can't depend on the money.
Ever heard of "ghost track" after an ORIF???
A small "ghost track" is seen in the distal tibial shaft.
Thanks!
Sounds like you're on the right track with Weight Watchers (sm)
Do they offer counseling too? I know of two people who did Weight Watchers and they were very successful. Seems like a good, healthy program. I am not overweight myself but my sister is and, like you, has struggled with her weight her whole life. So I know at least second-hand the struggle you're going through. I think maybe if Weight Watchers doesn't offer counseling that it might be a good idea to talk to someone about your feelings and help you sort through them. Best of luck to you and try not to be too hard on yourself. Your son and your husband love you for who you are.
Only if you're using the track changes or compare feature. Once somebody else has the document

which is the most common that you use when flagging? do you include the time track?
Given their track record, I woudn't give them a dime
They had their chance, and all they did was take advantage of the people they claim to 'represent'.
It is actually ghost track - area where a screw has once been for fixation of fracture.

I use Word 2003 and on the track changes toolbar there is a while pull-down box on the left.
This gives you your final report without the marks.
The junk faxers aren't leaving correct info so you can track them down.

correction: charge by PAGE, and keep track of long-distance of local numbers, as well as fax supplie

I've lost track of how many people who've asked about it to NOT
